On Leaving Bruges Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADEAFGHHGI| The city's steeple towers remove away | A |
| Each singly as each vain infatuate Faith | B |
| Leaves God in heaven and passes A mere breath | C |
| Each soon appears so far Yet that which lay | A |
| The first is now scarce further or more grey | A |
| Than the last is Now all are wholly gone | D |
| The sunless sky has not once had the sun | E |
| Since the first weak beginning of the day | A |
| The air falls back as the wind finishes | F |
| And the clouds stagnate On the water's face | G |
| The current breathes along but is not stirred | H |
| There is no branch that thrills with any bird | H |
| Winter is to possess the earth a space | G |
| And have its will upon the extreme seas | I |
